“From start to finish, Macy was highly professional and welcoming. She clearly commit prior to our visit and put me at ease since this was my first time leaving my little one. She had a social area set up just for him and sent me updates during his stay. Thank you, Macy.”
“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
“I had a last minute scheduling issue with taking my cocker spaniel Silas in for his surgery. Alexandria was willing to adapt her schedule to fit our needs. She got up very very early and dropped him off at the vet for me! She was kind and respectful, patient and easy to talk with. I can't tell ya how much peace of mind it brought me, knowing Silas was in good hands.”
“Willow had her very first doggie daycare experience with Tracy. My senior girl fit in really well with Tracy's pups. She provided pictures of the visit. Overall great experience.”
About: I am just your average mother to dogs, cats and little humans running around. I am also your local dog/cat groomer. I have 10 years of experience and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! I am very confident on handling all sorts of pets, pets with special needs, senior pups, puppies, pregnant mommas, unfixed fur babies and of course pups who might need a little discipline. I am pretty observant on behavior and can tend to whatever needs. I am very active(having 2 boys will do that) but I can also lay back. This also isn’t my first rover account. I used to partner with rover a few years back but since having kids and life changes, had to recreate a new updated account. I’m currently a stay at home momma during the week and groom during the weekend. My hubby is home weekends so pets are never left unattended. I have a fenced yard and love to be outdoors if weather permits. I also won’t pass up a cuddle session if thats what decided for the day <3

“Beast can't wait to visit Ms. Judy and Autumn he is always excited and running to the door. Ms. Judy is so sweet and nurturing I feel comfortable at work knowing she is caring for him. I was very apprehensive with placing him in day care this is his first experience, she puts my mind at ease with all the photos and communication throughout the day.”
“Luna had a great time with Kelly and her pups. Kelly sent us several photos and kept us informed as to how she was doing. We would definitely let her play at Kelly’s house again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.
“Hannah was prompt when picking up the boys. Excellent communication. The boys were tired when they got home. Looked as if they all enjoyed themselves. Thank you Hannah! Look forward to using your services again.”
About: Lifelong dog lover and proud Boston Terrier mom. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own dogs, Max and Iris. Pet care is part of my daily life with my two Boston Terriers., I have the time and flexibility to give your dog plenty of love, walks, and attention. I’m semi-retired and have decided to pursue something I truly love — caring for dogs. Recently, while exploring local doggy daycare options for my own pups, I was shocked at how high the costs have become. It made me realize how many pet parents may feel stuck staying home because of the expense. That experience inspired me to create an affordable, loving alternative right here in North Raleigh. Overnight boarding covers up to 24 hours of care from drop-off to pick-up (drop-off after 8 AM, pick-up by 10 AM the following day). Pick-ups after 10 AM may include a Doggy Day Care fee for the extra time. I offer free meet-and-greets at the dog park right behind my building so we can make sure everyone gets along and you feel 100% comfortable before booking. It’s a great way for your pup to sniff around, meet Max and Iris, and see where the fun will happen. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your dog. I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and videos — time-stamped so you know exactly when they were taken — and you can reach out to me any time during your pup’s stay. I’m home most of the day aside from my workouts at the gym or grocery store visits, which means plenty of potty breaks — often every 2-3 hours — plus extra outdoor time for walks and play. I provide a safe, calm, and fully supervised environment at all times. Dogs are never left unattended, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty needs, and any special instructions to ensure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for during their stay.
“Once again, Kaya had a great time and was in good hands! Exceptional care and flexibility when I needed it due to recent weather events and unexpected delays. Thank you SO much!”
“So thankful for Sarai. My husband had an extra shift today and neither of us would have been home for hours to be with our dog, Lewey. She was available to help us out, and we were so grateful. Lewey was excited when he arrived for the day, and he tried to run back inside when I picked him up. He enjoyed his time with Sarai playing and more and sleeps as soon as he comes home. This lets us know that he had fun. Will continue to request her for boarding and doggy daycare. She has such a warm and friendly spirit and we truly feel that Lewey is in good hands when he is at her home.”
About: I have years of experience taking care of other peoples’ dogs as well as my own, who is almost ten! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of shade that would be great for your pup! I work early mornings into the early afternoons (usually around 1-2). So after my work day, I’m home mostly relaxing or working in the yard and engage in lots of hobbies around the house. I will be around to tend to any needs your dog may have :) I live with my partner and our dog, Mulder, who is 9 years old. We have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that our dog loves and would love to share with your dog , too! We can also host indoors so the pups can cool off and relax.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open. I am mostly always by my phone so I am just a call or click away! I have one dog of my own, a 100 pound German Shepherd. I have a large fenced in back yard where he or any other dog can run freely. I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medicine and just simply providing love!
“James was professional, kind, flexible and easy to communicate with. He treated Phoebe like she was one of his own and that made her and myself extremely comfortable. I plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again for everything😊”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Princeton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 276 sitters in Princeton, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
